Bob Bibby sent me these pics yesterday of a few pike he had whilst testing my 'rat tail' surface lure for me. The lure looks like being a winner and has also put pike on the bank for me whilst testing. It has a tight walking action but can be made to go about 10" under the surface, this lure is going to get chewed up big time.

I thought i would make a tench lure as my local waters are stuffed full of them.

Amazing body roll on the long pull.

Here's a new lure i made especially for the bream munchers that abound a certain local water, it has a brilliant action and i cannot wait to give it a try.
